Opening

Nyra investigates a tower whose shadow and final hour were stolen, following impossible clues through rooftops, clock rooms, and one very punctual conspiracy.

The city clock strikes eleven and skips directly to silence. Nyra points at the moonlit tower, the only building in the square without a shadow.

  • Understand the opening conflict and what is truly at stake.
  • Practice at least one meaningful choice with Nyra Shadowstep.
  • Finish with a reusable story hook, reward, or party memory.
